Lathe Table Insert Tool Cabinet

When I built my Lathe table a while back, (49437http://lumberjocks.com/projects/49437) my friend David (LJ Patron) suggested an insert cabinet with drawers and such to store the tools. Lathes have a lot of accessory tools!Knowing David rarely makes a bad suggestion, I decided to design and make one while waiting for some parts from another project to be delivered.This is what I came up with. The whole project uses reclaimed material. I try to use reclaimed stuff as much as possible, to save the land fills and my wallet. It is a solid oak dovetailed case, with oak drawers and a tool shelf that fits in the upper cabinet.I set the size to fit the table dimensions and kept it removable in case I want to use it for another application down the road.So far it has worked out great.The finish is Minwax Classic Oak Polyshade and Briwax.Thanks for looking

WOW! Nice lathe bench. I started making one similar for my lathe the other day. I used reclaimed wood as well however mine is not near as pretty as this one. No way I would post mine now LOL. I really like the lathe tool tray. Wish I had incorporated that in mine rather than a standard drawer. Nice job.
